Online News Poll

October 30, 2006

Due to a technical issue with last week's poll, we are asking this question again:

A furniture showroom-size sex novelties shop selling sex toys, DVDs and lingerie is set to open in Manchester, and a similar one is proposed in Berlin. Such retail shops can't be banned outright, under constitutional protections of free speech. Their locations, however, can be regulated by a community.

Do you think local communities should be able to ban retail sex shops outright, even if that means curtailing free speech protections?
